Accusing Edward Williams of being a Literary Forger is a not direct violation of Wikipedia rules

I don't know where you get this idea. IF reliably published sources call someone a murder or a fraudster based on convictions, we call them that. Williams is considered a forger and even some of his contemporaries believed he was. There's no policy that says we can't say he was a forger. Doug Weller talk 10:01, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Evidence

I'm not sure what you want here. We have reliably published sources (see WP:RS) backing the statements about his forgeries. The sources can be read if you want more information. Please don't continue to add your own commentary, eg "Williams has become synonymous with fraud and drug abuse by those who would denigrate a scholarly and highly successful man.", that is original research and forbidden. As an aside and referring to your statement above about what is forbidden, I find it odd that you would then go ahead and attack two scholars. 10:10, 1 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs)

Your recent editing history at Iolo Morganwg shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Note this is including your edits before you created your own account. Doug Weller talk 10:12, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
